I was lying on an army cot I’d found in my uncle’s scrap pile in his backyard. A light from the church across the dirt road shined through the abandoned trailer’s window. I stared at my breath and asked, “Why, God? Why are you doing this to me?”

The abandoned trailer belonged to my grandpa before he went to the old folks’ home. Now, it had no electricity, heat, or running water, and I was living in it. I was a homeless 14-year-old and I had no hope.

About Project MMH

As a product of the North Carolina foster care system, then eventually becoming homeless at the age of 16, country recording artist and best-selling author Jimmy Wayne made it his mission to improve the lives of foster children aging out of the system.

Jimmy’s goal is to provide these kids with a safe place to live and ensure they receive every opportunity to make a successful transition from foster care to adulthood. Jimmy established Project Meet Me Halfway, a 501 c 3, dedicated to building transitional homes for these youths.
